  5. GSF one seconded! You need to get one that physically fits - I forget what the size is.

  6. ill measure it pop in tomoz !!
     
  7. Which reminds me, I have a leisure battery fitted as well, but the charging seems dodgy, as there's a fuse?I'm going to fit a proper charging circuit hopefully, and a big DC to AC voltage converter, since the missus wants to operate a toaster (shakes head, yeah I know).
     
  8. There is a standard size designation. @fritt will know what it is.

  16. 063 is the std size battery, but if you want to go bigger, then an 096 is the biggest I've managed to fit :)
